About: Hi! I have 5+ years of experience as a vet technician and currently attending vet school to receive my DVM so you can definitely trust me with your babies! I am experienced with proper care and handling of a variety of species including cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds. I am also proficient at administering meds and caring for senior pets if needed as I had my own senior dog with kidney and heart disease and am aware of what going into caring for pets on medications! On most weekdays I only have about 2 classes that I attend so I am usually free for the day after 1 pm, and I am usually at home in the mornings (until 10 am). I am free most weekends as well. my schedule is pretty flexible so I shouldn’t have much of a problem bending my schedule around to fit your pets’ needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I can provide a structured, low stress environment and closely follow your care instructions to keep routines as close to your own as possible. I supervise all pets carefully, and ensure all outdoor time is secure and safe. I can also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands !
“I feel very fortunate to have found Bonnie. She has cared for my pup twice now, and it’s been a wonderful fit. She’s always punctual (often early), professional, and attentive with my dog. Bonnie stays in constant communication and frequently sends photo updates, which I truly appreciate. I hope she continues to be available, as I’m confident she will quickly become my go-to sitter. Thank you, Bonnie—you’re amazing!”
“Truly the best! After 12 hours of travel home, nothing is better than coming home to a happy cat, tidy litter/food/water. We are so grateful for you taking amazing care of our Blueberry while we are away. Thank you Yumi and Cody!”
About: Looking for a pet sitter? Sign up for Rover through my link to get $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/marisl04002 My goal is simple: to give your pet the same level of comfort, attention, and care they get when you’re home. As a sitter, I bring personal attention, reliability, and genuine love to every pet I care for. I don't just watch pets — I bond with them. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in your absence. I tailor my care to match your pet’s unique habits — whether that’s extra playtime, medication schedules, special diets, or just quiet companionship. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own, with professionalism, respect, and a high level of communication. Daily updates and photos are always included, so you can travel with peace of mind. As a part-time pet sitter who provides boarding, pet care is central to how I structure my days. When pets stay with me, I treat their needs as my top priority, creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment throughout the weekend. My routine includes regular feeding times, exercise, play sessions, and quiet rest periods, all designed to keep pets comfortable and happy away from home. Communication with pet parents is part of my routine too — I provide regular updates and photos so they feel connected and confident their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stable environment where pets feel secure and cared for, and pet parents can trust their fur baby is safe, whether in my home or theirs.
“Andrew was able to accommodate me with very little notice! He messages back quickly. He is very thorough with his check-ins and gives full updates and pictures. I felt completely at ease knowing he was taking care of my dog.”
“Michelle always takes such great care of our boy Anakin ! She takes him on walks and plays fetch, and I always know he’s in good hands while we are away. Michelle send daily updates , with photos and videos and immediately lets us know if there are any concerns . I recommend Michelle and hope to rebook with her if she is available !”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently care for four cats of my own. Because of that, I understand that every cat has a unique personality, whether they’re social and playful or more independent and reserved. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to detail. I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing when a cat’s behavior seems different than usual. I know how important consistency is for cats, and I work hard to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I treat every cat as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I currently care for four cats, so my day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure each cat is healthy and comfortable. Caring for multiple cats has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to small changes in behavior. Because pet care is something I do every day, I understand the responsibility that comes with looking after someone else’s pet. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and needs. In a client’s home, I follow feeding instructions carefully, make sure fresh water is always available, clean litter boxes or pick up after pets as needed, and spend quality time with them through play, companionship, and attention. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I pay attention to a pet’s behavior and personality, respect their boundaries, and make sure they feel secure and cared for. My goal is to treat every pet with the same level of care and patience that I give my own cats.
About: For well over a decade, I have been trusted by friends, family, and strangers alike to take care of their beloved dogs. My experiences include senior dogs with mobility concerns and young hyper-active pups. Through strong attention to detail, I have nurtured and supported the well-being of many dogs and other pets alike. My experience taking care of different animals (e.g cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs) has made me a well-rounded pet sitter. I currently teach part-time at a local community college. Most of my workload can be performed at home. This gives me plenty of time to cater to the needs of your precious doggo. In my home, I have a fenced yard and plenty of space. This assures that dogs can be secured with room to stretch out. I, also, have many home security cameras as an added protection measure. My surrounding neighborhood is safe and very walkable which provides the perfect atmosphere for long walks.
“Eliza was just a lifesaver!!! I requested drop-ins pretty last minute and she was able to help me out! I also really appreciated that she’s had a bunch of knowledge & experience with kittens, so I trusted her the most with my kitties & she was definitely the right choice!! If you’re looking for someone who has amazing communication, sends great photos, & loves to give attention to your pets, Eliza is definitely who you’re looking for!!! Thank you again so, so much for your help!!! I would 1000% have Eliza back to help in the future!”
“i couldn’t be happier with the care and attention given to my furbaby. analisa went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt loved and comfortable while we were away. thank you so much for your kindness and dedication!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and animals they’ve always been a big part of my life. From the time I was 11 to 17 I helped my aunt with her animal care business, which gave me lots of walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with dogs of all kinds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets too, and I always treat each one like they’re my own. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and a safe, happy environment. This is my second job! As I am a young adult trying to save up for my future so my schedule is very tight around my other jobs schedule as of right now. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles, and always keep their space clean and cozy. I also follow any special instructions carefully, whether that’s giving medications, handling specific diets, or keeping up with training. My goal is to make each pet feel like they’re part of my family while their owner is away.
“Qiaochu was very helpful and responded right away to my request and explained the way Rover works. She played with the dogs the entire time and I would highly recommend her and use her again.”
About: Experienced with Dogs, Cats, Reptiles (Lizards, Tortoises, etc), Amphibians (Axolotl, Newts, etc), Birds, Fish, & Young (Puppy/Kitten) & Elderly animals alike! I currently raise, train, bathe/groom and care for my Dogs (1, 7, 16), Tortoises, Adopted Strays (Cats), and a lover of all things animal life. My love runs deeply such that I treat others precious animals/pets/family as my own with every bit of care to detail and attentiveness as a whole. Note, Simba & Nena only visit now as family moved out and took them to the new house but while they do visit, it’s only Yugi whom is my personal dog. Pet care fits perfectly within my own daily routine as I’ve developed a schedule that thanks to my passive income sources I am able to give the appropriate time attention and service to every animal in their respective tasks as requested. I am comfortable in saying available nearly 24/7. I have a fenced (solid lower, thin bar upper around 4 ft) outer area and a pet care focused larger bedroom for my personal dogs that are trained and well-tempered! They are comfortable with crates if needed or can be in a different room to accommodate a dogs needs. Dogs may be caged or separated for feedings. While I’m cage friendly, I prefer free roam and long term most dogs learn to individually use and also follow group requests via talking buttons laid for dogs. Feeding can be done open bowl or on schedule. Attentive and respectful to rules and requests of owners.
“Elaine you are an Angel! We came home to a very happy kitty. Little is a shy cat who generally isn’t too trusting and amazingly you got her to play and feel comfortable with you in her space. I know there are other sitters out there but my future sitter will absolutely be you!! Thank you so much, I will recommend you to all of our friends and family.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
Paige took care of our two cats with twice-daily drop-in visits while we were away. She kept us updated with photos during each visit and was patient with our cats and their very different personalities, which helped put our minds at ease. She was easy to work with and made the process very smooth!
Matthew did a great job watching my two senior cats while we were away for 2 weeks. They were not even mad at me this time when we returned. They made little messes here and there and Matt always cleaned it up perfect for us. I highly recommend Matthew as a pet sitter!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
